Ten years ago Valve released
Half Life, to the delight of gamers,
modders,
critics and people who hate cut scenes. Marc Laidlaw, writer for Valve,
talks about the genesis of
scientist turned crowbar wielding survivor, Gordon Freeman. Somehow avoided playing it in all these years? You can
buy it on Steam for less than a dollar until midnight November 21st.

You may have your own set of acquired tastes, but what of acquired
F.E.A.R.? The multiplayer component of Monolith's latest
LithTek powered franchise has been overhauled and released into the wild - without a price tag in sight. If you've been known to enjoy a bit of the old
simulated ultra violence you'll feel right at home among the frenetic emergence of automatic weapon fire and the spectre of the unarmed takedown.

I waited to see if anyone else might post this. I saw it on
Future Feeder.
Photron's model
ultima APX-RS is a high speed video camera - 250,000 fps. Here's a
quick link to the gallery of video (flash interface).
apparently that's not the fastest. That appears to be Shimadzu’s
HyperVision HPV-1 at 1,000,000 fps. They also have a
gallery - but with only 3 mpg clips each a little more than 2.5 MB (
1,
2,
3).

America's Army wants you, Mac users. The
recruitment tool game has been out for some time now, available only for Windows, but
as of this week Mac users can get in on the action. Broadband and robust Mac horsepower required, but for $6 somebody hands you an M-16 and tells to go shoot stuff. Why not?

Tarkovsky's Stalker coming as video game in 2003. I always wondered how long it would take for a more artistically-informed bunch to come to the $18B/year video game market (bigger than Hollywood). Will our generation have its video-game counterparts to Faulkner and Fitzgerald? A David Foster Wallace or Don Delillo authored game? Are there other video games that can stand up as "Art?"

If you've ever wanted your first-person shooter to feel a little
less real,
NPRQuake may be just what you need. The
blueprint and
brushstroke versions are nice, but for my money you can't beat
sketchy Quake. Unfortunately, the NPR in the name stands for Non-Photorealistic Rendering, not
that other NPR, so don't expect Robert Siegel or Linda Wertheimer skins any time soon. (via

Counterstrike, the most popular networked first person shooter in the world, went gold today. If you have Half-life this mod is well worth the download.
